Well, all I know is that it does NOT segfault without the patch, and now it does. At this point I should refer you back to Linus's posts earlier in this thread for the definition of "breaks userspace". > I remember that when Kay added a persistence utility tool that opens a V4L > device in order to read some capabilities, this caused a race condition > into a number of drivers that use to register the video device too early. > The result is that udev were opening the device before the end of the > register process, causing OOPS and other problems. > > I suspect that Mark may be experiencing a similar issue. Could be. I really don't know. Again, I could not care less about ir-keyboard, as I don't use it here at all. But also again, this thread isn't about what I need fixed, but rather about broken userspace from 2.6.36 onward. And the patch to "fix" it seems to possibly cause more breakage.
